  I remember my dad not being a fan of video games up until he decided to try Red Dead Redemption after seeing it just sitting there on our shelf still in it&apos;s plastic wrapping and it was the very first ever time I saw him actually glued to the TV screen.

  Fast travel wasn&apos;t removed in rdr2. It was a feature that was acquired once purchasing an upgrade to your camp

  That ending was gut wrenching to behold as you slowly realize what he has to do in order to save his family as he tells them to go on without him.

  A kinda unpopular opinion but John&apos;s death hits harder than Arthur&apos;s. Arthur knew he was gonna die either way with TB, and everything in his life fell apart and he himself was gonna die along with them. John however, was expected a life of peace with his loving family for the next 50 years, but was betrayed and ended up dead with 50 bullets into his torso. Also makes the revenge mission even more satisfying.

  fun fact: at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOx0k4jthpk&amp;t=1118">18:38</a> the bandit was riding Bonnie McFarlane&apos;s horse that&apos;s why it was acting with agitation.<br>Pretty incredible detail that they knew nobody would notice yet went out of their way to put that in the cutscene.

  The thing about RDR2 is it actually has all of that fast travel stuff. You could board trains, hire stagecoaches, or just build a campsite in the wilderness.<br>Edit: But yeah. The speed of the horses was a bit faster, and John&apos;s animations weren&apos;t so long. You could skin a buck in .5 seconds.

  I love the slow burn of two. When everything goes down after breathing it all in it hits so much harder for me. I understand how people think its slow but i like that about it.

  I am just going to say that the ending to Red Dead Redemption was probably the first time I actually cried during a video game. It hits HARD.

  Red Dead Redemption is a masterpiece of storytelling and character development leading to have one of the best protagonists in the 7th generation John Marston and it captures of the tone and atmosphere of the Wild West. Now I need to replay this gem again and thanks for the video Gman.
